T map Parking

It is reported that the parking supply rate of Seoul City accounts for 132%, but the imbalance between demand and supply of parking worsens the parking shortage problem every year. According to some studies, vehicles that "wander about" the downtown looking for a parking place take up 30% of traffic in the city, while social costs produced by illegal parking and stopping are estimated to be 4.9 trillion KRW a year. There are some alternative plans such as a 5-day rotation system and parking lots by day of the week but it is essential to find fundamental solutions to this chronic problem.

Key functions of T map Parking

# Simple search for parking lots

T map Parking makes sure smart parking offers innovative and considerate convenience. Drivers can check the parking location around the destination as well as the information of parking fee. Simple route guidance synchronized with T map is available. When searching for a parking lot, drivers can check the optimal parking if the date of parking and length of service hours are additionally set.

# Intelligent automatic payment system

T map Parking calculates parking fee in proportion to length of service hours and provides the information for drivers. This was thoughtfully designed for drivers who worry about an exorbitant bill. If you register payment information in the app, automatic payment of parking fee is enabled. This will facilitate unimpeded passes like the wireless toll system of the expressway (Hi-pass in Korea). This will definitely change the history of parking payment systems, because there will be no need to wait in line to pay the bill at the parking exit.

# Attractive discount benefits

When small parking fees are all added together, the total is not trivial and it affects your monthly budget. With this in mind, an essential function of T map Parking had to include the task of reducing parking fees. It allows users to purchase an hourly ticket with discount of up to 80%, and this may differ depending on parking lots. SK Telecom customers can benefit from discount of 10% of the parking fee with their T membership (once a day, max. 5,000 KRW, 5 times a month). Besides, by purchasing "points," you can have additional point savings of 5%.
